The only plan I've heard that I consider viable at this point is: Do this external to PM (but please be very mindful of making efficient use of the server resources when you automate any use of PM). I suggested this a long time ago but I have yet to hear of anyone implementing it, so I don't feel particularly guilty for not having spent time trying to implement it inside of PM (such as by analyzing your patches, trying to come up with a better design, etc.).

I don't know if you heard of it, but it did happened once (announcment here).
Here's the quote from crazyinsomniacs homenode explaining how it disappeared

Damn, I still always confuse davorg with mirod when remembering things
mirod says I think it was called the perlmonks threaded interface or something, but it was a CGI thingie, so even if you used it the script was on my machine. I tried using Google but I can't find it I'll try to rewrite it
mirod says no, I have lost everything in the crash (and I feel so dumb for it :--( I could try rewriting it though, I am away from home and I have a little time locked in my hotel room this week

When putting a smiley right before a closing parenthesis, do you:

Use two parentheses: (Like this: :) )
Use one parenthesis: (Like this: :)
Reverse direction of the smiley: (Like this: (: )
Use angle/square brackets instead of parentheses
Use C-style commenting to set the smiley off from the closing parenthesis
Make the smiley a dunce: (:>
I disapprove of emoticons
